Today starts the last week of Ways to A’s, our summer study-skills course for sixth graders who are joining The College Crusade this fall. This afternoon students were learning about note taking and playing memorization games. (Quick, what’s the size of Alaska in square miles?) They also read a chapter aloud together from Freak the Mighty, by Rodman Philbrick!

A team of students collaborated on this picture of their ideal study environment, complete with a laptop to use for studying outdoors!
